I once met Neil Degrasse Tyson in person. I asked him "how did you get so smart?" He replied with a chuckle and gestured for me to come closer. I approached him and he whispered in my ear "wubba lubba dub dub".

Of course, I thought. It all makes sense. Neil Degrasse Tyson got his genius from Rick and Morty. Only a true astrophysicist could understand the subtle, nuanced humour in the show. I apologized for being so foolish and he accepted my apology. He added, "I see you understood my reference. I already know you will one day be as smart as I."
